Semi-Automated Construction of Adversarial Agents for Trainable Automated Forces.

Virtual agents are used by the military for extensive training of pilots. However, creating virtual agents with the appropriate behaviors is a lengthy and specialized process. We describe a new tool (TAF) to allow rapid creation of virtual adversarial agents by non-specialized personnel. In TAF, users can draw diagrams of agent behavior which are matched within a pre-existing knowledge base. By combining several instances of similar behaviors a behavior model for a new agent is created that matches the diagram provided by the user.
